Bottle at Vu?ko Pub, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma is odd, with rotting vegetables, soil, subdued hops and roasted malt. Flavour is not as offensive, with a bit of butyric / vomit, subdued hops and roasted malt. Something went seriously wrong here. It actually becomes more excusable with each sip, but this is really quite poor.

Jul. ’16. On tap at the second BiH Craft Beer Festival, Mostar. It poured a hazy very dark brown body with a small brownish head. Lovely aroma of dark malts like caramel, licorice, coffee, only touched with hops. Flavor was also sweet, lightly, with coffee, dark fruits and cocoa to smooth it on the palate. Licorice note was there, too, but I was not sure was it just a combo of hops and alcohol, which was by the way very well hidden. Medium in body with long, smooth coffee, caramel and cocoa/dark chocolate finish spiced up a little bit with dry hops. Well rounded and a very nice roasted brown ale.

Bottled 330ml. -Unclear muddy brown coloured, medium sized brownish head, usual Oldbridž tartish nose. Acidic malty, notes of olives, some caramel and touch of alcohol with sourish finish. Some technical problems or just infected.

Update: Fresh bottle. Thanks to the Oldbridž people who sent it to Split for the local crew to try! Poured a veeery dark amberish brown body with an off white head that went away slowly. Lovely heavy sweet aroma, caramel, malt, raisins, somehow fresh and not cloying. Nice! That carries on into the taste - similar notes of caramel, light chocolate, light roast, sweetish but avoids being cloying. Finishes kinda dry. Light orange note. In its true, proper form, this is definitely a very good beer. Old review, before they fixed their issues: Thanks Reno & Riba! Poured a murky brown body with a small off white head. Slightly sourish, slightly phenolic aroma, eh? Taste... bitter, roasty, orange peel... perfumey... Slightly sour though. Interesting, and would likely be a nice, if rough around the edges beer if not for the huge problem they seem to have with infection/sourness. It’s still good in a way in my opinion, but it underperforms and never fulfills its potential. 4/3/6/3/13

At a private tasting in Serbia with markoijelena and luttonm. Matt has brought a few bottles of this new brewery, including this one. All of them were terribly awful, infected, kind of a beer still under fermentation with lively yeast working in the bottle. Away from these beers until they will learn some basic rules how to perform a quality check before bottling.
